Vermont Travel Notes

17th annual Burlington South End Art Hop , Friday and Saturday, September 11 and 12, has works on display from 500 artists in 100 studios and business facilities around town.

There is a juried art show, an artist designed mini-golf course made of recycled materials, fashion extravaganza, and artwork for sale.

It starts Friday from 5:00 to 9:00 pm and continues Saturday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. If you can't attend these two days, you will have other opportunities because most of the art will be on display for another month or so.

The web site has a Artists and Sites page which lists all the display locations and which artists' works are there.

There is an enormous number of intriquing events such as tortilla baking demonstrations, hat making workshop, mini golf putt-putt on the artist-created recycled materials course built on-site, family drop-in and create center, yarn spinning and glass bead making demonstration, classic car and motorcycle show, fabric art demonstration, quilting demonstrations (make and take yo-yos!), build or rebuild chairs workshop, and much more.

The web site mentions a map but I couldn't find it in a few minutes of looking. However, if you just go to Pine Street in Burlington VT, you will find many of the event locations and you can probably get more information on locations there.

This is a very popular event in Burlington and highly recommended.
